First of all, you do realize that it is not the background image that is moving, but everything else, right? The background image is fixed, so it is always going to be in the same spot. What I don't understand is why you are trying to do it this way. If you want to keep everything together, why don't you just either a) put it all in the background (ie, make it one single graphic and then put that as the background... would be kind of huge, though) or b) put it all in the foreground (ie, set the water as the background for an absolutely positioned div and then position the text absolutely around that). It's not like you're going to be able to put any text on top of that anyway, right? Of course, if you really wanted to do it this way, the way to go about it would be to absolutely position the (fixed) background image and then use CSS (not tables, that's not what they're for) to absolutely position the text graphics. You need to make sure everything is positioned with top and left, otherwise you're going to have things moving around. The top left corner of the screen is always 0,0, so things positioned absolutely from top left will always be in the same spot (even though they may [i]look[/i] like they're moving down the page). The point is that all of the elements need to have the same reference point if you want their positions relative to each other to stay the same. Did that make sense? Maybe I'm misuderstanding you, but this doesn't strike me as a very difficult problem to solve. You just seem to be going about it in a very difficult way. Apologies if I have misunderstood.
